"Remembrances" is composed on humourous interpretations of past books. What story can you tell from what you've seen?

Just for an example, I typed this out in "Book 4 opinions" discussion a while ago as an Avatar version of Green Eggs and Ham. Due to the amount of text caplocks made it easier to read

I AM LIN. I AM LIN. I AM LIN.

THAT LIN I AM! THAT LIN I AM! I DO LIKE THAT LIN I AM!

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME KIDS MY MA'AM?

I DO NOT LIKE THEM TENZIN I AM. I DO NOT LIKE KIDS AND BE YOUR MA'AM

WOULD YOU LIKE THEM BEND EARTH OR AIR?

I DO NOT LIKE THEM BEND EARTH OR AIR. I DO NOT LIKE THEM ANYWHERE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM TENZIN I AM. I DO NOT WANT KIDS AS YOUR MA'AM

WOULD YOU LIKE THEM IN MY HOUSE?

OR WOULD YOU LIKE THEM IN THE SOUTH

I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A HOUSE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN THE SOUTH. I DO NOT LIKE THEM BEND EARTH OR AIR. I DO NOT LIKE THEM ANYWHERE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM TENZIN I AM. I DO NOT LIKE KIDS AS YOUR MA'AM

WOULD YOU LIKE THEM WITH YOUR SIS?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO RULE THEM WITH IRON FIST

I DO NOT LIKE THEM WITH MY SIS. I DO NOT RULE THEM WITH IRON FIST. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A HOUSE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN THE SOUTH. I DO NOT LIKE THEM BEND EARTH OR AIR. I DO NOT WANT THEM ANYWHERE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM TENZIN I AM. I DO NOT LIKE KIDS AS YOUR MA'AM

WOULD YOU, COULD YOU, WITH YOUR NIECE?

HAVE THEM HAVE THEM! IN ONE PIECE

I DO NOT LIKE THEM WITH MY NIECE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN ONE PIECE. I DO NOT WANT THEM WITH MY SIS. I DO NOT RULE THEM WITH IRON FIST. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A HOUSE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN THE SOUTH. I DO NOT LIKE THEM BEND EARTH OR AIR. I DO NOT LIKE THEM ANYWHERE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM TENZIN I AM. I DO NOT LIKE KIDS AS YOUR MA'AM

WOULD YOU LIKE THEM WITH A SOCK

PLEASE LIN WE NEED TO TALK

NOT WITH A SOCK. NOT WITH A TALK. NOT WITH MY NIECE. NOT IN ONE PIECE. NOT WITH MY SIS. NOT WITH IRON FIST. NOT IN A HOUSE. NOT IN THE SOUTH. I DO NOT LIKE THEM BEND EARTH OR AIR. I DO NOT LIKE THEM ANYWHERE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM TENZIN I AM. I DO NOT LIKE KIDS AS YOUR MA'AM

Ironically, this was ten times more entertaining than the piece of shit episode I just watched. "Remembrances" was just laziness on the part of the writers. I know there were some budgetary issues, but still...

Bolin's had some cool moments like Zaheer talking to the other villains and Varrick describing himself
but his was kinda the weakest story to me

i think they should have used some of their lower budget to show something else like Bolin and Varrick arriving at Republic City, or Zhu Li plotting something, Izumi finally talking, Lin Beifong finally doing something, maybe a Kuvira and Toph interaction?

otherwise i enjoy the episode and i have a lot of respect for the creators

As a child's poet I tend to use existing poetry as an guideline. Ive tried writing an actual "story" like Varrick would interpret by drinking black coffee first but seriously what did I just type.

I don't think you understand the implications. They cut enough money to pay for an entire episode. Those chibis, the voice acting, & the few bits of new footage they added, that's where this episode's remaining budget went. No, they literally could not have done that. They had to either blow an episode, affect the quality of the entire Book, or abruptly fire a bunch of people, & that last one would have made them no better than Nickelodeon.

I'd like to come up with a story, but I have no ideas at this point. I also don't particularly want to dig up a bunch of images.

Well, I'd like to see you try and write up an episode with a slashed budget and pre-existing footage on short notice. I don't think laziness played a large role in how this episode turned out. Who cares if a fan can come up with something supposedly better. You could still end up angering someone over allowing a cruddy episode to come out. Furthermore, this sort of episode would contribute very little to furthering the plot of the show either way.

As for the thread itself I didn't really like any of the sequences they used. I admit that Varrick's storytelling was the best they could do to salvage this disaster, but I lay the blame on Nick. The executives will have something coming at them for this. I remember that this is not the first time Nick has screwed over one of their fan bases. I hope this blunder seriously damages their profits and their other shows suffer, too. Well, thanks for amusing with your sequences.

i'm pretty sure i understand the situation

and like i said, i enjoy the episode and i have a lot of respect for the creators

but i don't think it would take to much money for a 1 minute clip of something else

you know to get you pumped up for the next episode

In that case, t'was I that did not understand you. We must now fight an Agni Kai at dawn. For HONOOOOOOR!

Personally, if they were going to rehash Book 2, I think it would have been the PERFECT time to explain some things about the finale, but people may have called it boring.
